      ACPI: disable _OSI(Linux) by default · 072971d7
      Len Brown authored
      In Linux-2.6.22 we expanded the boot parameter osi=
      so that it can enable and !enable an OSI string.
      
      _OSI(Linux) is a special case because we know that there
      are both systems that require it set, and systems
      require that it _not_ to be set.  In the long term it can't
      be set, for the same reason _OS(Linux) can't be enabled --
      it tends to confuse BIOS that are not properly
      validated with Linux.  Further, the semantics and version
      information of _OSI(Linux) were never actually defined.
      
      The kernel prints out a message if it sees _OSI(Linux)
      requested, and there is a DMI workaround to invoke
      "osi=Linux" automatically for existing systems that need it.

      RAMFS NOMMU: missed POSIX UID/GID inode attribute checking · 85f6038f
      Bryan Wu authored
      This bug was caught by LTP testcase fchmod06 on Blackfin platform.
      
      In the manpage of fchmod, "EPERM: The effective UID does not match the
      owner of the file, and the process is not privileged (Linux: it does not
      have the CAP_FOWNER capability)."
      
      But the ramfs nommu code missed the inode_change_ok POSIX UID/GID
      verification. This patch fixed this.

      enable interrupts in user path of page fault. · e5e3c84b
      Steven Rostedt authored
      This is a minor fix, but what is currently there is essentially wrong.
      In do_page_fault, if the faulting address from user code happens to be
      in kernel address space (int *p = (int*)-1; p = 0xbed;)  then the
      do_page_fault handler will jump over the local_irq_enable with the
      
        goto bad_area_nosemaphore;
      
      But the first line there sees this is user code and goes through the
      process of sending a signal to send SIGSEGV to the user task. This whole
      time interrupts are disabled and the task can not be preempted by a
      higher priority task.
      
      This patch always enables interrupts in the user path of the
      bad_area_nosemaphore.
